The Five Pieces for Orchestra (''Fünf Orchesterstücke''), Op. 16, were composed by Arnold Schoenberg in 1909. The titles of the pieces, reluctantly added by the composer after the work's completion upon the request of his publisher, are as follows: #''"Vorgefühle", Sehr rasch'' ("Premonitions", very fast) #''"Vergangenes", Mäßige Viertel'' ("The Past", moderate) #''"Farben", Mäßige Viertel'' ("Summer Morning by a Lake: Chord-Colors", moderate) #''"Peripetie", Sehr rasch'' ("Peripetia", very fast) #''"Das obligate Rezitativ", Bewegte Achtel'' ("The Obbligato Recitative", with movement). The ''Five Pieces'' further develop the notion of "total chromaticism" that Schoenberg introduced in his ''Three Piano Pieces'', Op. 11 (composed earlier that year) and were composed during a time of intense personal and artistic crisis for the composer, this being reflected in the tensions and, at times, extreme violence of the score, mirroring the expressionist movement of the time, in particular its preoccupation with the subconscious and burgeoning madness. The work had its world premiere in London at a Promenade Concert on 3 September 1912, conducted by Henry Wood.〔(LA Phil )〕〔( Edward Clark, "IV. Successes in Berlin, Involuntary Pilgrimage of Arnold Schoenberg", ''The Listener'' (17 January 1952): 107. )〕 At Wood's suggestion, Schoenberg's British pupil and friend Edward Clark (later to become a renowned BBC music producer and conductor) invited the composer to make his British conducting debut with this work at the Queen's Hall, and on 17 January 1914 he conducted it at the same venue.〔(Anon., "Herr Schönberg in London. His Theory and His Practice", ''Daily News Leader'' (January 17, 1914), quoted in full on the Arnold Schoenberg Centre website (accessed 29 October 2013). )〕〔(Alison Garnham, ''Hans Keller and the BBC: The Musical Conscience of British Broadcasting, 1959–79''. )〕〔(Jennifer Doctor, ''The BBC and Ultra-Modern Music, 1922-1936: Shaping a Nation's Tastes'' )〕 This was attended by Gustav Holst, who obtained a copy of the score, the only Schoenberg score he ever owned. Echoes of the work appear in ''The Planets'' (originally titled ''Seven Pieces for Large Orchestra''), and in the opening of his ballet ''The Lure'' (1921), which closely resembles the third of Schoenberg's ''Five Pieces''.〔(David Lambourn, "Henry Wood and Schoenberg", The Musical Times, Vol. 128, No. 1734 (August 1987), pp. 422–27 ).〕 ==Instrumentation== The work exists in two different scorings: the original 1909 version for a very large orchestra and the revised version of 1949 which reduces the size of the orchestra to more-or-less normal proportions, "giving up the contrabass clarinet, as well as the four-fold scoring of the other woodwinds and two of the six horns". This version was published posthumously in 1952. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Five Pieces for Orchestra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
